Tour to the small Ifinger Peak

From Meran 2000 to the small Ifinger peak - the tour offers an unique view over the Meran basin, the Texel Group, Ötztal, the Dolomites and much more.

The Big Ifinger is also known as the local mountain of Schenna and Hafling and is located at an altitude of 2,581m. Right next to it is the Small Ifinger. While the Big Ifinger can only be reached with a via ferrata set, the Small Ifinger does not require any climbing skills and still offers a wonderful panoramic view with less mountain experience and good surefootedness.
